President Obama is losing it.

Yeah... poor Mitt Romney and Sarah Palin being asked all those "gotcha questions" like "WTF are you talking about?"

This is the second time I have seen someone try and defend Obama by attacking Sarah Palin (who isn't even running....) What's up with that?

The thread is about Obama calling his opponent a liar, with a very poor choice of terms directed (though the parent) to a child. Attacking Sarah
Palin has nothing to do with Obama's remarks, or his lying about the consulate situation, or his records, or his massive debt increases, or his
snubbing Israel, or any of his other issues. Do you have a pertinent comment?

No one is "attacking" Sarah Palin. Just noting the odd similarity of terminology when used when it becomes apparent that republican candidates so
frequently rely on bullsh^t to answer even the most rudimentary of questions. Oh...and that's "bullsh^t" in the academic sense of the word, as
defined by Yale Professor Emeritus of Philosophy Harry Frankfurt in his seminal book entitled, "On Bullsh^t".

As for your other items.

1. Obama didn't "lie" about the Consulate...but honestly...even if he did...who cares? I feel bad for the other three Americans, but the world is
just a little bit better off for having one less guy like terrorist Chris Stevens in it.

2. Who cares what sorts of albums Obama listened to when he was in college. I know Donald Trump is willing to fork out $5 million bucks...but
what is he REALLY hoping to find? That President Obama used to George Clinton & Parliament on vinyl?

#sarcasm

3. Massive debt increases? Agreed. I wish the GOP would just stop whining about their taxes and start paying their bills like responsible Americans.
Then we wouldn't have that problem at all.

4. Snubbing Israel? You bet. That's his strongest achievement in foreign policy to date. Personally, I would prefer he send Seal Team 6 after
Netanyahu or work with the Iranians and Palestinians to overthrow the Israeli government, but snubbing will do in a pinch. In fact, if it weren't
for the NDAA...this ALONE would have been enough to earn my vote.

Well, all those Obama worshippers are about to wake up and find out they've been worshipping a false messiah.

An (The?) Antichrist perhaps?

Apparently the rest of the world loves him. Well the rest of the world can have him. I say we revoke his citizenship and send him to Gitmo: That's
what's done with those who support terrorists isn't it?

I think the rest of the world loves him so much because he caves to everyone.

Another country: America sucks!
Obama: Yep!

I love you Beezer, not just for those post but for ALL of them. Pissed me off someone called you a liar, but what can you do about the delusional that
refuse to acknowledge that the river is rising even as they struggle to stay afloat.

Lol a whole internet full of information to explain WHY Romney should be president. But like the infantile conservative you are this is the outlet you
seek. If he's losing then I'm not sure what Romney's doing, he must be diving into the coins in his vault, because he surely is doing nothing
political because Romney has no idea what politics are. The conservative base clearly knows this, because they never do anything but complain, avoid,
deny, and deflect. The conservative handbook.

I'm sorry, how does this not matter? A president is supposed to be above reproach and the answer he gave to a child's question is despicable. I
believe this shows a lot about Obama's character. It's the little things that matter and though this is a little thing, it does matter.

Really? I actually think it's the Big Things that really matter. For example, telling Israel to go screw themselves and avoiding WWIII with Iran
seems more important to me than saying the word "bullsh^t".

Is it possible that President Obama is intentionally trying to tank his re-election in order to stir up enough protest and outrage by this supporters
to conduct a full coup?

Here's how this unfolds:
1. President knows he can't enforce the changes he wants with a weak majority (assuming he wins) and needs much more momentum to force a power shift
so winning this election really has no impact other than the continuance of his previous agenda.
2. His message and attacks are sharpening, creating even greater divide and disdain for anyone standing in his way. Whether this helps or hurts his
re-election chances is irrelevant, that's not his goal.
3. After losing, he capitalizes on the peaking tide of outrage as he still maintains full power as commander in chief of all military and secret
service. His political and social lackeys organize raids on opponents to run them out of office to overthrow the government.
4. With opponents out of the way (eliminated, resigned or just merely absent from voting) he can sweep through powerful new acts to suspend
government, grant new powers, etc.

We know some fraction of his supporters would follow through on past threats of violence, particularly if they felt protected from prosecution. All
they need is some organization and the green light to act.

This has to be one of the most far reaching, baseless & nonsensical conspiracy theories I've read in a while. If I'm wrong I will immediately
apologize to you, but I won't be.

Isn't that somewhere less bad than eating a dog?

Just saying.....

Not really. It would depend on where you live in the world. When I was stationed in Korea they ate all kinds of things it was the norm. As a
comparison we are considered monsters because we eat cow by people in India. I am not sure why you brought up eating dog but I figured I should give
you a real answer.

BTW one thing I never understood is why people eat rocky mountain oysters. ewww

As far as I know sticking your dog on the roof of your car and driving for a day down the highway is just sick and cruel. At least it is in
America.

Just listening to Obama for the last month makes me think he is auditioning for emcee of a late night talk show or as a comedian along the lines of
Jon Stewart. He just seems so unpresidential here lately and it is beginning to show just how much he has been laying down on the job for the last
four years. He is the real "bullspitter".

Romney is a bullsh$^%#..... oh yeah i forgot calling a spade a spade is a good way to lose in politics. I forgot you have to speak with a silver
forked tongue to be a politician. You have to lie but no one can call you a liar you just have to lie better.

This is the game all of you people egg on. Please lie to us we want to watch you play the lieing game when someone starts to say the truth you lose.

OP when romney is in office and things are going bad what then?? people were duped by obama now they will be duped by romney.

our two party system has naturally become something like this. assuming the nation is 50% dem 50% rep

when bush was in office 100% were angry, by default when switching to obama 50% were turned happy.... of the 50% angry maybe half or less were
appeased by gaining positions in the house congress

just by swapping presidents 50% of the country is essentially happy.... so you lose 50% discontent people simply by swapping presidents. utter
bull324323

there is no incentive to change anything. it is a game to see which party gets into power. sabatoging a current president by undermining them
through the other branches of government is a way to get their party back into office. how many times do we not hear once there is a change in the
presidency that the opposing party has to take other branches of government to thwart that presidency. it is so assinine. politics has turned into a
game... like those stupid student body presidential runs.

Didnt read all comments so excuse me if it's been said...
I don't like Obama and I hope he doesn't win...
But he DIDNT say this to a 6 year old. If you would have actually READ the OPs article... he was talking to someone who said "my kid said you can do
it" and he said "even kids can see a bullsh**ter"... something along those lines. Instead of jumping to conclusions in these threads with the "omg
hes trying to get 6 year olds in his base"... read the snippets.

I'm Not voting for Obama.... but to infer that he's loosing and Mitt's got it all wrapped up.... Is this your personal disinformation 'R' good
deed for the day.
Odd how all you prognosticators have it all figured and are trying to 'just help the rest of us out', RUBBISH I say.

When asked whether he had a message for a six-year-old supporter, President Barack Obama took the opportunity to describe his opponent Mitt Romney
as 'a bullspitter'.

Who talks to a "six-year-old" supporter like that?

He wasn't talking to a six year old. This quote is taken out of context. Here is the quote from the Rolling Stone article:

I was reminded of this incident when our interview with the president ended. As we left the Oval Office, executive editor Eric Bates told Obama
that he had asked his six-year-old if there was anything she wanted him to say to the president. After a thoughtful pause, she said, "Tell him: You
can do it."

Obama grinned. "That's the only advice I need," he said. "I do very well, by the way, in that demographic. Ages six to 12? I'm a killer."

"Thought about lowering the voting age?" Bates joked.

"You know, kids have good instincts," Obama offered. "They look at the other guy and say, 'Well, that's a bull#ter, I can tell.'"

And how could that same exact thing not be said about the Democrats? This is the partisan bull# I can't stand. Everyone is so self-righteous in
their views they can't even have a decent debate outside of calling the other side out without facts, the only facts most of you have is your inherit
belief that "i'm right, you're wrong." Just a bunch of sassy condescending bull#.
